THE TABLES TURNED.

an Aged Woman for Selling Rum-They
are Fired upon from Ambush and Three
of Their Number Killed.
CRAB ORCHARD, KY, March 1S.-E1iza
Fish, aged seventy seven, the keeper of a
groggery in Rock Castle County "a prohi-
bition county,, who had persisted in sell
ing liquor after she had been warned
anonymously to quit, was taken from her
house and beaten "Wednesday night
by the vigllantes, of the Law and
Order club. AS the men were whip
ping the crone shots were fired from over
the fence and three of the Ku-Klux fell
dead. Their names are John Long, Walter
Turpin and John Hasty. Rock Castle
County has been infested by band of XII
Klux for ten years past, and all efforts to
break up the lawlessness has failed. The
old woman, Eliza Fish, had been whipped
before by the vigilantes, and her SON was
run out of the county for selling liquor.
There is much excitement over the affair.

Themselves Together Against the Rail-
roads.
CHICAGO, March 1S.-Forty gentlemen
representing the Chicago merchants and
manufacturers met at the Grand Pacific
yesterday to consider the interpreta-
ton of the Inter State Commerce law given
by the railroads as it relates to
1,000-mile tickets. Robert A. Hill,
who presided, said the roads had al.
ready made an advance on these tickets OF
from two to two and one-half cents pei
mile and thought two cents mile was
enough to pay, after which an association
to be known as the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' Association of Chicago was
formed with the following officers:
President, Robert A. Hill; Vice-Presidents,
H. J. Mcfarland, Morris SELF, j. V. Farwell,
Jr., Louis Wampold SIMON Reed, o. S. A.
Sprague, John Benham, j. L. Woodward; Sec
rotary, H. w. K. Cutter; Treasurer, Elbridge
Keith.
Resolutions setting forth the opinions of
the association, in WHICH determination to
fight the roads was expressed, were passed.

CHICAGO, March 10. = The National

distillers, rectifiers, wholesale deal

progress prohibition has made through
out the country, though admitting
that "prohibition does not prohibit" The
principle of license is autagonized because
the liquor men favor it, and the address
says that undue denunciation has fallen

Not a Sample Democrat.

Wilmot Record.
Those Republican papers who arc
sneeringly pointing to A. III. Lewis as
sample of Dakota Democracy, are re-
minded that not many months ago this
same Lewis was the leader of the Re-
publican party i'll Grant county. The
influence of the Grant County Review
made many friends fGG Blaine and
Logan and without Goubt carried the
county for Clifford at the last preSiden-
tial election. A. III. Lewis was Re-
publican then and is remembered as a
leading member of the committees in
that county and an energetic worker in
all conventions called by the Republi-
can party. Recent events have shown
that i'll Philadelphia he was Green
backer; in Minnesota Democrat; in
Dakota a Republican and only lately
Democrat again. TO intimate that he
is fair representative of the Demo-
cratic party in Dakota is foOlishneSS
and worse; it is falSehood. A. HI.
Lewis is representative of no party.
He adopted the title of Democrat ex-
actly as he did the name he bore; to
serve his own interests and nothing
more. He was no more a Democrat
than he was Lewis. One thing only
was true about him; he was a rustler
and was usually successful in his plans.
He made many enemies and he made
many friends. We notice him now only
to recall the fact that he worked more
years for the Republican party than he
did for the Democratic, and if there is
any stigma on either party in conSe-
quence of his former actions, it rests
more heavily on the Republican. The
truth is neither party is to be censured
for what VOlkmar did when he was
running a Greenback paper in Phila-
delDbia.

A Needed Reform.

Sioux Falls Argus Leader.
The Church administration is bring
ing about one reform which should
make it exceedingly popular with that
large class of voters who are more deSir-
Gus of clean government and economi-
cal administration than of a party name.
That reform is in the examination of in
Surance companies and the suspension
of those which have not sufficient capt.
tai behind them to render their patrons
safe. The fact is that so loose has been
the examination of Insurance companies
in Dakota that any body of men, with
absolutely no capital, could come into
the territory, organize under its laws
and obtain authority to do business.
UnscrupulouS men have taken advan-
tages of the license and wildcat inSur-
ance companies are springing UP all
over the territory. To root these out by
careful and honest examination of
assets and liabilities, to make them put
up the proper amount of bona fide capi-
tai or else shut up shop, that is the busi-
ness of the present administration.
Auditor Ward has the matter directly in
charge and there is, therefore, every
reason to believe that no guilty will
escape. The stringent application of
the law will benefit more parties than
one. 1t protects the insured and it pro-
tectS the other companies in the terri
tory which are sound and doing a legiti-
mate business. 1t will clear the name
of Dakota from unpleasant aSperSionS
in the insurance line, and will put her
insurance matters as she is in agricul-
tural, educational and commercial lines
pretty near at the top of the heap.

The Local Option Fight.

FARGO, Oct. A.-TOO much water in
the shape of rain caused the campaign
of the fervent temperance evangelist to
fan out without the crowning blaze of
popular enthusiasm programmed. The
results of the two weeks of costly effort
are not very apparent to the general OBJ
server. A number of parties signed the
pledge, and measure of harmony was
secured between the waring factions
that may last until after the November
voting. An effort is being made to Sc
cure Col. Plummer to complete the
work, but there is doubt with many as
to the policy of this, from apprehension
that he may fall into his Old footsteps,
which never passed a bibulous dispen-
sary, as he falls into the arms of his old
associates. There was gathering this
week Of the local option workers Of the
county, and the reports from the cOun-
try districts generally were extremely
favorable. The Casselton Blizzard has
been secured as the special organ of the
movement, and is to be put in the hands
of the doubtful until election. A thor
ough organization is being effected in
each district, and the ladies will be at
all the polls with coffee, steaming hot,
and doughnuts for option voters.

Palmer's unfortunate reference to the

him. The judge stood the volley for a
long time, but finally decided that dis
submitted all explanation. He saws the
''penny-a-liner" is an imported express
sion-impo.ted from New York. He
says also that there are no such persons
in Dakota; that he didn't refer to any of
them; that he wouldn't sass the weekly
papers for a SO bill, and so OH and such
like.

bitiOn before they spread into a total
